Changing TalkSwitch unit ID numbers

Each TalkSwitch unit is pre-programmed at the factory with Unit ID number 1. When you plug multiple units in for the first time or add a unit or units to an existing network, the lights on the front of each TalkSwitch flash. This is an indication that all units have the same ID number. Change the ID numbers so that they are all unique, as follows:

1.Connect a phone to any extension port (eg. E4) of the TalkSwitch unit for which you want to change the unit ID number, and lift the phone handset.

2.The TalkSwitch prompt will indicate that there is an ID conflict. Choose a number, for example “2”, as the new unit ID number. Once the unit ID number has

been accepted, the lights on the front panel will stop flashing (usually within 10 seconds).

3.Repeat the above steps for each additional TalkSwitch unit, assigning a unique ID number to each unit on the network.

After successfully changing each unit ID to a unique number, each unit can be identified by the network. More importantly each local extension, remote extension, and voice mailbox, will have a unique number wherein the second digit in the three digit identifier becomes the unit ID number. See the table below.
